Taylor’s University Sends Visa Approval Letter (VAL)

Once Taylor’s receives all required documents from you, the International Office (IO) will submit your student pass approval application to the Education Malaysia Global Services (EMGS). EMGS will thoroughly vet your application and qualification. If you are eligible, EMGS will endorse your application and submit it to Immigration for final approval. Once Immigration approves, the Visa Approval Letter (VAL) will be issued. Taylor’s University will notify you once we receive the VAL, which we will then email and courier the VAL to you.

Single Entry Visa (SEV) for those Required Countries

Students from Single Entry Visa (SEV) required countries are responsible to bring the original Visa Approval Letter (VAL) together with the passport to the nearest Malaysia Embassy/Consulate to obtain a single entry permit prior to entering Malaysia to avoid a fine or being turned back at the airport.
